Two-Cheese Mac and Cheese

You can’t go wrong with a dish as simple and classic as mac and cheese! When I saw this two-cheese mac and cheese on the cover of the latest issue of cooking light, I knew I had to try it. I made it for lunch last weekend and Mike and I both loved it. It only took about 20 minutes to make, and the end result was cheesy and creamy and delicious. I especially liked that it didn’t call for fancy, hard to find cheese. It’s nice that it’s a little healthier than other versions too! The leftovers were great when reheated, which pretty much guarantees that this dish will be make it into our regular rotation. 🙂
